11 County Councillors Report – meetings are taking place about the provision of education in Cambridgeshire, particularly concerning Gamlingay and Cambourne. Discussions are still taking place about the Guided bus, no opening date has been arranged. No more updates on the old railway bridge between Haslingfield and Barton.
